JUNIOR HANDLING ASSOCIATION

 6-11 YEARS (8,3)
1st        Niamh Nash. I liked the way you handled your Papillion. Stacked nicely on the table with good use of your voice to reassure your dog and you showed the teeth very well. Pattern work was neat on both the triangle and up & back.  Lots of promise with the right training and practice
 2nd      Isabella Arkell. Handling a Newfoundland, a big dog for a small girl but it was obvious who was in charge. Not an easy task for an adult but you did a very good job getting the feet into position to stand her.  You showed me a good view of the dogs the teeth. On the move your triangle let her down which ultimately lost you the class.
3rd       Grace Rutherford. Handling a Pug. Although a small breed they are not easy to handle. You need to pay a little more attention on the table to how the dog is presented but a good attempt at showing the teeth. Your triangle needs to be neater and more defined but your up & back was good.
Res      Rosie Shaw
VHC     Ronnie Adams

12-16 YEARS (6,3
 Very close between 1 and 2
1st        Tamsin Blyton. Handling a Giant Schnauzer. You stack your dog very well to present a lovely picture. Showed me a very clear view of the teeth and on the move your patterns were spot on. It was the way you talked and encouraged your charge that was the deciding factor in the placings.
2nd      Bobbi Shepherd. Handling a Field Spaniel. Another very proficient handler you stack your dog with precision and showed the teeth clearly. Super pattern work with lovely straight lines.
3rd       Leah Scales. Another Giant Schnauzer. You stacked your charge well and showed a clear view of the teeth. Triangle and lines were ok but not at the angle I was after.
